"I was very impressed with him," said Jack Stewart, who attended the town hall. "[He] seemed down to earth and very knowledgeable."
"He did not make anyone feel bad about themselves," said Tricia Rinderle, who was also there for O'Rourke's town hall. "He made everyone feel accepted. I feel that is really important today."
